justniffer is a tcp packet sniffer. It captures reassembles and reorders TCP
packets, performs IP packet defragmentation and displays the tcp flow and
trace timings. It is useful for logging network traffic in a 'standard' (web
server like) or in a customized way. It can log http response time, useful for
tracking network services performances (e.g. web server, application server,
etc.) .
Main differences from other sniffers:
* it captures tcp/ip traffic and handle all tcp/ip stuff (reordering,
retrasmissions, defragmentation). The tcp stream adjustment is very reliabe
since is performed using linux kernel code included in a slightly modified
version of the nids library
* it reports timing informations. So it can be useful for tracking network
system performances: for example http response time, connection time, etc.
* it can generate logs in a highly customizable way. For example can mimic the
apache access_log
